The first silylyne complex of a metal beyond group 6, [Cp*((i)Pr3P)(H)Os≡Si(Trip)][HB(C6F5)3], was prepared by a new synthetic route involving hydride abstraction from silicon. NMR and DFT computations support the presence of a silylyne ligand, and NBO and ETS-NOCV analysis revealed the nature of this Os-Si interaction as a triple bond consisting of a covalent σ bond and two strong π back-donations. The discovery of this complex allowed observations of the first cycloadditions involving a silylyne complex, and terminal alkynes are shown to react via C-H bond additions across the Os≡Si bond.

Department of Chemistry, Graduate School of Science, Tohoku University, 6-3 Aoba-ku, Sendai, 980-8578, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- - A neutral silylyne complex of molybdenum was created using a stepwise dehydrogenation method, and its characteristics were compared to a similar tungsten complex, noting a preference for the monomer form in molybdenum solutions.
- - The molybdenum complex exhibited faster reactivity in [2+2] cycloaddition reactions with alkynes compared to its tungsten counterpart.
- - The study also demonstrated the formation of silaiminoacyl complexes from reactions with organic azides through [2+3] cycloaddition, with structural and bonding analyses supported by various measurements and DFT calculations.

We report the reactions of an iminophosphonamido-silylene (1) with different palladium complexes. The reaction of 1 with [Pd(PPh)] furnished a homoleptic tris(silylene)-palladium(0) complex. In contrast, treatment of 1 with [PdMe(tmeda)] led to the unprecedented formation of a non-planar -silylyne-bridged tetranuclear palladium cluster that contains palladium atoms in different oxidation states.

Article Synopsis
- - A tungsten silylyne complex reacted with aldehydes to form four-membered metallacycles through a [2+2] cycloaddition at room temperature.
- - Heating these metallacycles to 70°C caused them to break apart and form carbyne complexes and silanoic esters, similar to reactions seen in alkyne metathesis.
- - The silanoic ester could further react with pivalaldehyde, resulting in another high-yield cycloaddition product.

N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-stabilized hydrosilylyne complex Cp*(CO)2WSiH((Me)IMe)2 (3a) ((Me)IMe = 1,3,4,5-tetramethylimidazole-2-ylidene) was formed by the reaction of an NHC-stabilized silylene complex Cp*(CO)2(H)WSiH((Me)IMe){C(SiMe3)3} (2a) with 1 equiv of (Me)IMe at 70 °C. In this reaction, HC(SiMe3)3 was unexpectedly eliminated from 2a. A C5Me4Et analogue of 3a, (C5Me4Et)(CO)2WSiH((Me)IMe)2 (3b), was also synthesized by the same method, and the structure of 3b was confirmed by X-ray crystallography.
